I see a small but noticeable impact of this poll on graphical UI design decisions.
For the basic system task scheduling and multitasking/multiuser properties of linux/meego I really hope this poll is largely irrelevant.
So yes - it would be nice to have a more streamlined way to switch tasks (than dashboard only) which isn't solely relying on mouse/touchscreen/whatever - a clean hw-kbd_only approach like the alt-tab found on quite a number of major desktop managers. Generally a UI missing hotkeys for such an elementary task (or any other task) is defective by design. You SHOULD be able to use a system that has a broken touchscreen, as well as a system with broken hardware keyboard.
Maemo5 failed on this, and it needed matan's Modified Hildon Desktop [1] to fix it. Let's hope meego gets things sorted in that regard.
